Hello, and congratz to a really sweet ride.
Maybe I could shed some light here.
The one that went to Finland was my old.
Really nice car with 95tkm on it.
Ive had it since -02 i think.
Zlobo has one
Lasse Jern has one, and i know of one more in Sweden.
Abt made about 40 of these cars , and they made em only on the -91 with the 3b engine.
U could as a private owner take your s2 to Abt and buy the upgrades from them.
Think they all came in laser red.
Man i sure miss mine. that was the only car, of all cars ive had, that i never got tired of the looks.
cheers

That's correct, it was for sale in Poland. The car was not in good shape, bumpers was fu..ed and it looked trashed. And it was missing the abt wing. But with some tender love and care it will become a great car ones again.

Wing was oryginal, bumper a little broken and you are right- with some care it will become a great car again. Work in progress if you wish I can add some photo. My nickname is RADO and you can add me to the owners list.
About the car that was for sale in Sweden some months ago (starting price 23.5k euro) it was written in the ad that there was only 40 of C5 ABT in the whole world. I asked a few questions to the seller but unfortunatelly he didn't respond a word, hope here I can find out something more about this version. So far I found out that there were a few of body kits (different bumpers and wings) and found less photo than I found today in this thread.

best regards
RADO

this is how it looked when I bought it...

[bigRADO]

I didn't like the wing although I know that's oryginal part made by ABT...

[bigRADO]

so changed it... and refurbished wheels, hope you will like it in black...

thank you, I like this car! Like license plate between rear light -not in the rear bumper. Know it's collectors object but I did the same to my ABT, changed also rear wing (too high for me) but can put back ABT parts in any time if I change my mind to have stock ABT. Front bumper isn't oryginal to be sure, I was trying to mount normal bumper to c5 ABT but it didn't fit because body is much wider than in standards audi... Also another one-fiber bumper didn't fit well as you can see on the photo below so I put back ABT's one cause it was a little broken and it took 2 hours to repair it

found another photo...

1- Sweden. (Slobo)
1- Norway. (EB Abt S2)
1- Finland. Sold form Sweden (??)
1- Poland. Big Rado.
2- On road in germany. (??)
1- Netherlands (Henkjan)
4- in "museums" in Germany. Old racing cars form ABT

Its so cool to see the cars getting restored again.
The wheels look nice Rado is it the OM ABT wheels you have put back on?

Its a shame that the previous owners din't keep them original, its fewer C5 abt's than ther is Enzo's in the world

Its clear from the last set of images that ABT made two sets of front and rear bumpers, one for the C5 with the arches, one without.

Exactly, my wheels are oem 3 pieces 17" ABT (rear ones I made 1" wider) I didn't put them back because it was on the car when I bought it (look at the photo "this is how it looked when I bought it..."). My S2 ABT was keep oryginal but I don't keep it (don't like ABT high rear wings and like license plate between tail lamps) but I can put it back to the oryginal ABT at any time, now I'm painting the car and can send some photo after that.

After polishing, painting and putting together wheels... Front rs2 lamps are too dark and I'm gonna replace it with oem rs2. Rear one I will replace with TRESER.
